StrStr will indeed do partial string matches, but there is a problem with using it as
a substitute for FindStrInStr.
FindStrInStr performs a weakly equal match on the characters. This means that it
collapses weakly equal characters (e.g. upper & lower case) into equivalent match
codes. If you use StrStr, then you won't get case-insensitive matching, for example.
Note that for other character encodings (such as Japanese), even more extensive
processing is done; for example, it ignores the chou-on character completely.
